Cynthia “Cindy” Diane Raymond Steele

Cynthia “Cindy” Diane Raymond Steele, 46, of the Bethlehem Community, left this world for her final flight home on Wednesday, May 2, 2018, at Duke University Hospital, after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born on August 13, 1971, the daughter of Diane Kindred Raymond and the late Robert Leroy Raymond. Cindy was self-employed as a nail tech and a member of Millersville Baptist Church. Anytime she could travel, especially cruises, she would go no matter where it was.

She had a special love for her family, especially her grandsons and watching them play ball. Cindy was also an avid movie goer. She was a precious jewel in this world who will forever be in our hearts.

Along with her father, she was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Raymond and Georgia Jowers.

Along with her mother, those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 31 years, Jeff Steele of the home; daughter, Briattany Lail and husband William of Bethlehem; son, Ryan Steele of Hickory; two grandsons, Maddox and Kaysen Lail of Bethlehem; sister, Angie Kemp of Mt. Pleasant; several nieces and nephews; along with her special friend, Lisa McCoy of Conover.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, May 6, 2018, from 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., at East Taylorsville Baptist Church. The funeral service will follow at 3:00 p.m. with Rev. Jamie Steele officiating. Burial will follow at Millersville Baptist Church Cemetery.
